A Dude's Take on Amber Rose, Wiz Khalifa, Kanye West, Slut Shaming, and Messy Breakups
Niggas have been trippin’ a lot lately, bringing all the Louis Vuitton luggage with them. Let’s unpack, shall we? Yes, let’s. Amber Rose is having both the best and worst last few weeks ever.

Shit Bougie Black People Love: 18. Being Upset About Kanye West
No one was happier for Kanye West’s early career than Bougie Black People. While others merely enjoyed Kanye’s music, Bougie Black People were enchanted by him. “Finally” Bougie Black People exclaimed, between sips of green machine Naked Juice, “a rap artist who speaks to me.” To their credit, the parallels between Kanye West and the…
